Put your data in the cloud, they said.
It will be great, they said.
Maybe those in-house servers and backup systems weren’t so expensive after all.
I have some very important business-critical machines in the AWS EC2 server cloud.
With full backups in the AWS S3 storage cloud.
And copies of the backups in our ground datacenter storage.
And DR (disaster recovery) archives of those ground backups in separate storage.
Worth every penny, and every minute of effort to make sure they're all running right.
